Change of power in Czechia: Patriots for Europe determine the formation of the government

by Dr. Marco Arndt, Alena Reslová

Between Brussels and Budapest? Where is a new government under Andrej Babiš heading?

On October 3 and 4, 2025, Czechia elected a new Chamber of Deputies. It was the moment of billionaire Andrej Babiš, the ANO chairman and one of the three founders of the “Patriots for Europe” faction in the European Parliament, to which Orban also belongs. With an election result of just under 35 percent, no government can be formed without him. Babiš is therefore setting the agenda. He is thus on the verge of fulfilling his dream of becoming head of government again. Everything is pointing to an ANO minority government, supported by the newcomer to parliament—his sister party from the patriots' camp—the motorists and the weakened right-wing extremists of the SPD.
